Each and every one of them is nothing short of a legend in the mercenary world.
With such people gathered in one place, the companions who were just waiting outside were suffocated by the blood flowing from the meeting room. Even the guys who say I’m long are at that level, but Allen, who is no different from an ordinary person, just tastes like dying.
Still, I can’t show my weakness, so I grit my teeth and hold on.
As the meeting started, someone’s high voice came and went. The birth of the new 10 rivers has many parts that are related to the gains and losses of the existing 10 rivers.
Fortunately, the meeting went smoothly. Anyway, in a situation where Elisabeth Vice Danju was calling for Dagon Danju’s expulsion, new top 10 candidates were already coming up and down from their mouths. In other words, it skipped the troublesome task of filtering out candidates.
Originally, it was a matter of deciding one of the three candidates, but since Danju Bakuya, a leading candidate, was killed in a mysterious accident a while ago, the number of candidates has been reduced to two.
As the number of candidates was reduced from three to two, the competition intensified. Goseong starts from there. It’s about biting each other’s qualities and dragging them down.
Anyway, before the meeting started, the situation was roughly divided. Their cry was a war for the votes of neutrals.
Normally, the neutrals included sword emperor Magnus, fire-ghost Grenzo, monster Raiga, and iron mask Viola, but among them, Viola had already reached an agreement with Elizabeth, so there were actually three remaining votes. Of course, among the other three, there may be someone who has already reached an agreement with someone.
Apparently, the top 10 was decided in this decision, so the bloodiness was great. However, the trend is already slowly solidifying into Pesiyal-Mercenary Corps. It was because the influence of none other than the elegant magician, Elizabeth Budanju, had a considerable ripple effect. Seeing that she was the person who took the lead in expelling Dagon Danju, whom everyone regarded as her thorn in the eye, she noticed that even from her neutral position, she tried to empower her side as much as possible.
However, from a position of supporting Bakuya or Stephanie-the mercenary corps, there was no way that her princess, who had already cheated on her behind her back, looked nice. Moreover, isn’t it strange that a promising candidate was suddenly killed a while ago?
A fucking slut.
It didn’t seem strange to have a double bath, but everyone didn’t cross the line. Still, they were people who could wield tremendous power in their respective positions, so there was nothing good about planting severe ill feelings. …… And the biggest reason is that there are no permanent allies or enemies in this world.
After a long battle, the vote was finally cast.
Pesiyal-Mercenaries 5 votes, Stephanie-Mercenaries 3 votes, and abstaining 1 vote.
The meeting, which lasted well past midnight, was finally over. Of course, it wasn’t a happy ending.
During that long meeting, the companions waiting in the hallway did not exchange a single word with each other. If you pour oil on a burning place and lose sight of the top 10 representatives, your future may fly away forever. They’re well-organized with each other’s attention.
Allen, who had been sitting still and immersed in deep contemplation, quickly stood up when he saw the conference hall door burst open. He glanced at himself and joined the viola troupe as he walked all the way down the hallway.
As soon as she came out of her villa, the viola Danju looked up at the black night sky and let out a deep sigh. It was only then that Allen opened her mouth, which had been kept tightly shut.
“Thank you for your effort.”
“… Allen Danjudo, she had a hard time waiting for a long time. Unintentionally, it took much longer than expected.”
“Determining the seats for the 10 lectures will not be that simple.”
The two walked towards the bus stop, breathing in the cold night air.
“The Pesiyal-Mercenary Corps has reached the top 10.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“…… Of course, we can’t guarantee yet whether she will be able to keep that position. From now on, you will face many challenges.”
It didn’t end just because we reached the top 10 here. Of course, there will be many challenges from those who value it, and the Top 10 had to endure those challenges and keep their place until the end. Of course, if you don’t do that, it’s over. … Viola Danjoo was also a person who endured numerous adversities and kept her place in the top 10.
When the two arrived at the stop, Danzou Rados, who was standing outside, informed Elizabeth Budanzou, who was waiting for them in the carriage.
“Why are you thankful for this? It’s late, but I’d like to treat you a little.”
“I will only accept treats with my heart.”
“…… I’m sorry.”
As the viola Danju calmly cut her without any regrets, Elizabeth Bu Danju’s smile slightly broke, perhaps hurting her pride.
“I don’t know when we’ll see each other again, but see you next time.”
Viola slipped her hand out, and Elizabeth gracefully reached out and caught it in her gloved hand.
“… Yes, sister see ya.”
The two women flinched back and forth. The two men exchanged formal greetings and each got into the carriage.
With this, the round of 10 decision meeting is all over. … Of course, in the middle of the process, all sorts of hidden secrets and tricks were rampant, but except for the fact that Danju Bakuya was killed in an unexpected accident, it was peaceful on the outside.
The coachman opened the coachman’s window to make sure the two of them were seated well, and drove the wagon.
Danju the viola looked out the dark window and fell silent in her thoughts.
… She felt the wind of change blowing in her. She is still feeble, but for some reason, the wind that seems to grow out of control later on….
· · ·
The meeting for the round of 10 has ended, but the violas have not yet decided on a departure date. She’s come a long way here, but she’d better go after all her business.
In particular, Allen inspected the mercenaries while he was in the capital. Of course, it was difficult to find rookies with good characteristics in the capital, and most of them were already matured. At a price bubble worse than Vermand Dois out there, money geek Allen stuck out her tongue. I don’t know if it’s when I have plenty of extra money in the second half of the game, but at this point when I’m wasting a penny, it’s truly astonishing.
It’s not that she doesn’t have decent guys she wants to recruit, but because of her ridiculous demands for her transfer fee and salary, Allen doesn’t even have the heart to bargain at all.
In fact, because she already knew that, Allen had chosen Vermandois as her first settlement rather than her capital. Of course, Vermandois didn’t have a small price bubble, but it was nothing compared to the capital city. It would be right to consider this after settling down for a while.
So, around the time Allen Danju was focusing on her mercenary business.
Natasha, a gum milk swordsman with a promising future, also often visited Sword Emperor Magnus to improve her swordsmanship. He welcomed her and taught her as if he were a true disciple.
However, Natasha did not go to see the Prophet Alloa. Because I believed that prophecies could be overcome with hard work and mental strength.
And, Mage Elena, a sucker, was completely immersed in the source magic she had bought the other day.
It seemed to be inspired by elemental magic, which had almost lost its power. Spirits are also entities closely related to the source of matter. … In a word, what if the magician himself dragged and used it instead of through a spirit?
Hadn’t she been struggling with the problem of mana efficiency for a long time?
She had approached minimizing the wastage of mana as a solution to this efficiency problem, but her newfound solution through source magic was completely different from that.
If the waste of mana is severe, it is to solve it with an abundant amount of mana. The mana used by wizards was, to put it likewise, clean purified water stored in the body after going through a filter several times. However, source magic is to use the source mana outside the body for magic before it is refined like that.
…… It’s certainly a good idea, but that doesn’t mean it’s not without problems. How to use mana that needs to be learned right away.
The act of drawing pure mana from the outside and using it as it was was a method that Elena still did not understand at all. Just looking at it, it is clear that it will require a long training. Even if she trains, she doesn’t know how long it will take until it shows results that exceed expectations….
However, if you learn it properly, the utility will be enormous.
…… I needed a breakthrough anyway. It is realistically difficult to change a long-studied magic technique to be more efficient. Then it is better to change the way.
Elena thought that was the only innovative change she had.
If everyone goes down the same path, you won’t stand out unless you’re a genius. She does not consider herself a genius, but in order to compete with genius, she had to choose a path that others do not go.
…… If it’s to be with my beloved, Danju…… !
Even if it was an arduous road, Elena was confident that she would endure it to the end.
